The Villain’s Mother

Chapter 264 – What I want to know, what I want to see, it’s not just this (2)

“Am I wrong?” Ruan Xia felt disgusted on that subject. “Duan Chi only sought you out and asked when we would get divorce, unlike Qin Yu, who lied and said we have an improper relationship. I’m disgusted to death by him. I rather be with a pig than him!”

“Oh.” Song Tingshen mimicked her earlier action and pinched the soft flesh on her waist. “Are you saying I’m a pig?”

Ruan Xia winced and knocked his hand off. “I didn’t say that.”

“Alright, you don’t have to be too angry.” Song Tingshen turned their roles around and comforted her, “If I didn’t have qualms about going overboard, I would have done more than punch him. It’s all over. Don’t let it get to you.”

Ruan Xia nodded. “I know. From now on, I won’t believe in free lunches. It wasn’t a free lunch, but a trap.”

She shouldn’t have gone to work at that company. She had been lured over there by the salary and good benefits. If she had carefully thought about it, she would have known that it wouldn’t be her turn to get such a good job.

Song Tingshen said with a serious expression, “Still, this isn’t totally bad. At the very least, this experience has raised your awareness. You won’t be so easily tricked next time.”

“Hey!”

The two of them chattered about nothing of importance. Taking into consideration that Song Tingshen had to go to work tomorrow, Ruan Xia didn’t stay any longer and went back to her room to sleep.

After Ruan Xia left, Song Tingshen finally sighed in relief. Li Yuanhang was right. A husband and wife should be more honest with each other. It was pointless for him to try to guess on his own. Just sharing with Ruan Xia what bothered him was enough to make him feel better.

As for Qin Yu…

Song Tingshen still believed that since Qin Yu had made such big moves, then he wouldn’t retreat after a few setbacks like Duan Chi. When did Ruan Xia become targeted by such a person? There were many questions left for him to investigate. It had nothing to do with trust. He simply wanted to know more about his enemy.

After having that discussion with Song Tingshen, Ruan Xia felt relieved. Although what she had said to Song Tingshen wasn’t entirely true, overall, she hadn’t lied to him. There really was nothing between her and Qin Yu. She would have to lay her cards on the table and reveal her biggest secrets if she wanted to be completely honest. Sometimes, absolute honesty and absolute transparency wasn’t necessarily good for a relationship.

She returned to her room and lay down on the bed. She could hear Little Wang’s soft breathing by her ear. She closed her eyes and thought about what happened recently. Thinking of Song Tingshen’s words, she rejoiced over the choice she had made back then.

As for Qin Yu’s matter, she didn’t want to care about it anymore. It wasn’t something she could do anything about. She believed that it would be better to leave this matter to Song Tingshen to handle.

She knew that Song Tingshen wouldn’t be able to find anything in his investigations. Qin Yu was the only one reborn with memories of his past life. However, those memories only belonged to him. What happened in that past lifetime hadn’t happened in this one. It would be great if Qin Yu could be as tactful as Duan Chi. Duan Chi had been outrageous back then too, but wasn’t he gone now? Ai, with Qin Yu as a comparison, even Duan Chi had become cute.
